Brave is brilliant at mobile design is what they're brilliant at. I find Chrome and Firefox on Android unusable because of how much better browsing with Brave feels. Firefox Lite and Microsoft Edge get closer to the pleasure of using Brave on mobile but neither comes close to matching it since Firefox lacks the reliability of Chromium browsers (I know, boo choosing browsers based on usefulness) and Edge has a fetish for bloated sub-menus.

> Edge has a fetish for bloated sub-menus A Microsoft product with drop-downs inside of drop-downs? Say it ain't so. Brave does feel good, but it would be better if the spyglass at the bottom was "find in page" and not Search, since we have an omnibar.

  Honestly the top-side omni-bar is what I dislike about a lot of mobile browsers. It's nice for seeing the web page but, imo, all frequently used controls should be at the bottom of the screen. Firefox Lite actually has a really strong gui with a few caveats! None of the mobile browsers, including Brave, are perfect in terms of layout. But if Brave could steal the bottom gui from Firefox Lite or if Firefox Lite had Brave's 'just works' factor, I'd be pretty happy.
